Formula E is gearing up for the Mexico City ePrix, taking place for the second time at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.
It’s been six weeks since the series raced in Buenos Aires, where Renault e.dams’ Sebastien Buemi continued his streak of winning each race of season three to extend his championship lead to 29 points over ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport’s Lucas di Grassi. Even though the Brazilian driver picked up the first pole position of 2017, he had to settle for third behind Techeetah’s Jean-Eric Vergne.
Like his teammate at Renault e.dams, Nico Prost has been consistent in his race finishes. The Frenchman has finished fourth in all three races and is currently third in the Drivers’ Championship behind Di Grassi and Buemi, but will be aiming to step on to the podium in Mexico.
The Teams’ Championship is looking to be Renault e.dams‘ to lose, even before the fourth of 12 rounds gets underway, as the French team find themselves on 111 points, 51 points ahead of nearest rivals ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport.
